"EOr RlOxham."

In an editorial of the 9th inst, the
Times Union, with characteristic effront-
cry, claims
Jacksonville is for Bloxham. Pa
latka is for Bloxham. Gainesville is for
Bloxham, Orange County is decidedly
for Bloxham."
Here is plain statement, and we will
take the whole together as written. and
demonstrate its falsity by statement
equally plain.
Major w. Z. Copper. of the Florida
Southern Railway, is one of our most
influential and popular citizens, genial
and gushing as his Senatorial candidate.
He had bet hat on the election, and he
was disappointed when Bloxham failed
to secure the nomination on the first
ballot. Feeling, like the journals sup
porting Bloxham, that his cause was
steadily waning, the Major determined
to get up big meeting and send on
rousing lot of resolutions to capture the
Legislature. So he made personal can
vass and rang bells about the streets an
nouncing "Bloxham Meeting" Our
reporter went up armed with a new pen
Gil and quire of paper To take ssnotes.
He found eleven gentlemen in lawyers
office-these elected Maj. Copper chair
man and Judge Roberts secretary and
resolved themselves into n s'Bloxham
Club" and called Mass Meeting" As
befitted the Importance given to such a
movement by the names of the gentlemen
interested, THE PALATKA News gave the
roll of membership and published to the
world their intentions and hopes. Not
satisfied with bells and personal solicita-
tions next time the club got up a petition"
for Bloxhams election and to this
they procured eighty signatures-they
had five hundred handbills struck off in
gay colors giving notice of the meeting.

twenty persons were present and the

discussion between Messrs. Beach and

vor of direct taxation, the aboli-
ton of the free school system and
other kindred topics. Judge Roberts
then made Bloxham speech. and after
an anecdote from Maj. Copper told in
his hottest vein the meeting adjourned
subject to call.
The list given by Us as members of the
club has been challenged and we hasten
to state that the Messrs. Zacharias de-
clare they only went into the room I'M

was trying case and there was some
fun ahead" This reduces the club to
nine. And enc of our principal mer-
chants, Marcus Loeb, says he signed
the petition because Major Cou-

Too Narrow a Circle.

A great many Of our readers in coun-
try places can testify to the lingering Bit
terness, long drawn out, of family feuds-
How many a village or small community
contains one or more families divided in
an interminable quarrel, kept alive by
petty injuries and still more petty jeal-
ousies, and made more sharp by the secret
deep affection, and the strength of the
mysterious bonds of blood
1t is probable that it is due to the fric-
ton of the narrow bounds of family life.
Father. mother and children are too often
shut in by their kinship to act and react
perpetually upon each other, with no OBJ
jects of mutual interest outside of their
home. In consequence, these objects as
sumo exaggerated proportions; trifiing
words and opinions are maSnItied; petty
defects and faults, seen too close, expand
into crimes, Just as fly under micro
scope grows into a monster.
A father who knew the world and
human nature had two sons of nearly the
same age, who were deeply attached to
each other in childhood. He sent them
to different schools in the same town.

other by revolving in too small a circle.

An interesting contribution, the discus
sion of the domestic service problem. is
given BY our correspondent from New
Mexico We think the working women
of the east cannot know that in New
Mexico domestic servants are paid $50 a
month, with board and home in addition,
and cannot be obtained even for these
large wages The native Mexicans sup
ply about the only servants TO be had
there. and they are so unfamiliar with
American methods of housekeeping and
withal are 50 indolent and careless that
their service is Ear from satisfactory. The
pride which keeps the native American at

The Orlando Record was inclined to
be very threatening in its tone for few
days after the appointment of Judge
Broome. But it made no objection, save
that Orange County should give to the
Circuit the successor of Judge Foster"
and now resumes the even tenor of its
former way as follows:
THE confirmation of Judge Broome sets
at rest all discussion over the appoint
ment. There seems to be no serious OBJ
lection to the new Judge, other than the
fact that he was not the choice of the
bar of the circuit, and while this is quite
a serious one, the Governor of the State
alone should be held responsible for it..
From all we can learn of the new Judge
it is certain that he will make most
capable judicial officer and his welcome
by the Orlando bar will no doubt he as
hearty as was its honest preference for
another man for the place"

Several papers in the State are trying
to explain the Missing Tourist ques-

the Times Union at the same time that

list and giving reasons for the omission,
more or less complete, of such cities as
Palatka, st. Augustine, Enterprise and
Tampa. 1t is useless, brethren; the
whole statement is willful attempt to

PALATKA. FLA. MAY 10. 1887.

The law gives to the Governor the APP
pointment of certain officers. He alone
is responsible for the fitness OF these, and
he can give what weight To petitions
or Recommendation he shall consider
proper in the exercise of that discretion
allowed him. There is no need to urge
that ''he must take the responsibility
and risk"-Perry never shrank from
either when legitimately imposed. No
endorsement by 1.-The bar or other au-
thority can justify an unfit appointment,
and no bias of popular favor can dictate
to such a man as E. A. Perry. He is
willing to be responsible" for all his
acts

We so often hear men advocate the
election of Bloxham because we need
Perry as Governor" that the argument
is becoming tiresome. Could such men
as f. A. Perry multiply themselves ten
thousand times Florida would have
cause to be glad with exceeding great
joy. But the State can never come to
harm under the guidance of Nj. III.
Mabry. He is a young man thoroughly
identified with the people and their in
terests-he is honest. able and thought
full. His conduct in his present position
has won him hosts of friends, and those
who believe him incapable of carrying
out the policy shaped by Perry are
either prejudiced against him or are
possessed of insufficientt knowledge of
the man and his character. Mabry will
live to confer high honor on his party
nd render good service to the State.

A Relic OF Winter up in Lewis County.

The Watertown Times has been learn
ing something of the severity of the past
winter in Lewis County from the inhab-
itants thereof. One gentleman in the
town of Montague, which lies in the
Western tier, bordering on jefferson and
Oswego Counties, states that there is
near his residence a ravine 100 feet deep
which is still filled even to the top with
as level as the Western prairie. The
snow was blown into the ravine during
the winter. 1t seems impossible that
sucn body of snow can be dislodged in
a single summer, and it is not unlikely
that the inhabitants of the town will
have snow to eat in July and August.

was a power in the land. and the attacks
of its enemies only strengthened it; con-

a,anger from r.arIaqunaes-

The continent of North America north
of Mexico seems. from historic as well as
natural evidence. to be in the main free
from any considerable danger of earth
quakes. which are necessarily destructive
to architecture. Nevertheless. a large
portion OF its surface appears to be liable
to shocks which, though slight, may be
very destructive to life and property, if
we persist in our present fiimsy methods
of architectural construction Good for
tune has given us a tolerably safe abiding
place for our race in this country. We
can almost everywhere safely put our
trust in it. provided we are willing to
take some care as to the methods of con-
structing buildings. s. Shaler
